Sarah Jones' Ex-Husband Speaks Out On Bengals Cheerleader Sex Scandal

Sarah Jones' ex, Nathan Wilburn, spoke out on the allegations against the Cincinnati Bengals cheerleader.

As former teacher and Cincinnati Bengals cheerleader Sarah Jones awaits trial on accusations that she had sex with one of her students, the man who left her is speaking out for the first time.

Nathan Wilburn -- Jones' high school sweetheart and husband for less than one year -- told Inside Edition that even the couple's honeymoon was ripped apart by allegations that 26-year-old Jones had a sexual relationship with a high school student when she worked in Kentucky.

"Of course I don't want my wife to be guilty of having sexual relations with a young boy," Wilburn said. "I go back and forth every day as far as whether I feel it's true or not true."

The two fought so much over the rumors that they filed for an annulment early this year, just six weeks after their wedding. Wilburn said he has since moved on and found someone new.

Now Jones is preparing to fight the case -- she pleaded not guilty in April to charges of having sex with the 17-year-old Dixie Heights High School student. Prosecutors say they have sexually explicit text messages that prove Jones' affair with the student.

Wilburn told Inside Edition that Jones is falling apart.

"She says she's crushed and her life is over, she has nothing left," he said. "Her teaching career's over. Her Bengals career is over."

He said that he hopes Jones is innocent, but if she's not, "she deserves to go to jail."

Jones abruptly quit her teaching job on Nov. 30, citing "personal reasons." School officials have said that the resignation came at the same time as the first police probe.

Her mother, Cheryl Jones, was also indicted on charges that she tampered with physical evidence in her daughter's case. Both made bail and are awaiting their trial on June 27, WPTV reported.

Yes, all the puns about "how lucky these teen boys are" may be funny - but the double standard isn't funny. As a male I agree - she's hot!

However, as a Father of both a teen boy and a preteen girl I wouldn't be happy to learn that they had sex w/ any adult.

The court system needs to end this double standard and stop agreeing to plea deals w/ these Pedophiles, like Sarah Jones. Not only was she the adult in the situation, she was also in a position of authority as a teacher.

So shame on her - but also shame on the court system for allowing another female teacher to get off w/ a slap on the wrist.

1. You have no idea what a pedophile is.
http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/pedophilia
2. The age of consent is 16 in most states, including the state where this took place. This is only an issue because of the student-teacher relationship.

The boy is 17 years old to me that is a young man. Example what if the boy was 6'3 250 lbs and power slammed this women will you still feel sorry for the boy or the woman. I'm a blackman yeah i'm black. Ask any blackman from the hood like myself would they get with this woman at 17 years of age they would say what i am sayin hell yeah. I know some homies right now at 17 with 21,22,23 year old females. And if the women on here don't like it tough it is what it is and that's on the real you feel me partna.

The messaging disparity I am witnessing on female and male sex offenders is blowing my brain apart!

If it's an ambiguous story, with no mention of the sex of the offender, it's "assumed" they are men, preying on 8 year olds, and they should all be hung.

However, if it's a WOMAN, the comments don't mention anything about burying her beneath the jail?

Point: Female sex offenders get the benefit of the doubt, men, bury them, or put them on death row.

Interesting.

The article said "Of course I don't want my wife to be guilty of having sexual relations with a young boy," Wilburn said. "I go back and forth every day as far as whether I feel it's true or not true."

..........His wife was going back and forth too.

"Jury. Look at this hot, fine, blond, sexy former cheerleader. Would she sanely sleep with any student? No. This woman is bipolar. And thus not deserving of jail time."

[Jones batting lashes.]

Of course the jury agrees and she had sex because she has a bipolar disorder. I mean, that's what all the hot, young female teachers have when they do this. Right?

Female predators allways make a mistake and get all the excuses made for them.
Male predators get hung.

Apparently Nathan Wilburn was not adequately and sufficiently 'servicing' his then wife's 'accounts' thus forcing his desperate and frustrated chicken into the lusty arms of this young and eager 'love machine'. And yet some continue to insist that male chivalry is long dead and gone. Oh if only these doubting naysayers of negativity knew the whole truth! Bailiff spank this woman's ....Well, YOU be the judge and make the call on this one!
